My invention has for its object a case for shaving soaps of the type comprising three elements, to wit a central ring-shaped part and two similar covers adapted to be screwed onor otherwise secured to either side of the central ring, each cover serving in alternation as a holder when the other is removed for allowing the shaving soap stick to be used. j

Now according to my inventionrthe ring is formed of two half rings each provided with projections adapted to engage the soap to a somewhat considerable depth and to yhold it securely without allowing it to slip.

I have shown by way of example in the accompanying drawing two forms of execution of my invention.

Fig. l is a partly cross-sectional side view, of a rst form of execution of my case.

Fig. 2 shows the two-part ring alone,

Fig. 3 is a corresponding plan view.

Fig. 4 is a cross-section of thering.

Fig. 5 is aside view of a modification of the ring.

Fig. 6 is a corresponding plan view.

Fig. 7 is a cross-section of the modified ring.

The case comprises three different parts, a

central ring-shaped part l divided into two halves and two similar covers 2 and 3.

The ring l comprises acentral annulus l 3o on either side of which are provided threaded cylindrical portions 5,- 5. One of the half" rings constituting the ring forms at each end a bevelled male projection 6, while the Vother half-ring has at each end a female recess 7 cut to a corresponding shape. Obviously each half-ring may as well have one end forming a male part and the other a female part. In eitherV case I -obtain when mounting the two half rings an easy and rapid centering.

YMoreover each half-ring shows an inner projecting part 8 9. The two covers 2 and 3 are hollow and are screwed respectively over the threads 5 and 5f of the ring l.

The case is used as follows: the case is dismanted and the soap stick 10 held through its Vmiddle between the two half-rings, the projections 8 and 9 engaging the soap and ensuring a rigid fixation thereof; the covers K 2 and 3 are then screwed over the threads 5 andati.

holder which owingto 'its comparativelyV great length may befcomforta'bly held in the hand. `fi/Ihen half the soap originallyV contained in the case has beeiiused, the cover 2 serves in its turn as a holder Vandpart 3 forms the removable cover; I allow thus the soap lstick' to be completely` usedwhich is not the vcase with the soap hol-ders used heretofore. The covers and/or the vring may be of any suitable material, chiefly of plasticfmaterial such as bakelite which allows the ring inv particular to be given a certain thickness whereby'it is easier to mount the case.

Figs. 5, 6 and 7 show a modification allowing a still greater accuracy :in the centering 'i of the two half-rings.V "On one of these half rings, say l, the annulus, l projects at 11 beyond the bevelled male end, while on the corresponding female part ofthe half-ring l the annulus remains slightly behind the bottom of the recessed part so as to leave a space 12 free for housing the projection l1. 'Ihe drawing shows a male part at one end and a female part at the other,-but of course as in the case of Figs. l' to 4, one of the half y rings may show at both ends male parts'and the other female parts.

l/Vhat I claim is: Y I

l. In combination with a container for eoY soap sticks and the like small cylindrical bodies comprising two opposed covers having an inner thread at their periphery, the provision of two independent half-rings each provided with two outer threads for engaging the threads in thek two covers respectively and comparatively deep projections raised on the inside of and substantially in the middle of each half-ring kfor engaging the soap-stick or like body.

2. In combination with a container for soap sticks, and the like small cylindrical bodies comprisingtwo opposed covers hav-v ing an inner threadat their periphery, the provision of two independent half-rings each provided with two outer threads for engaging the threads in the two covers respectivevided on the adjacent ends of the half rings and comparatively deep projections raised on the inside of and substantially in the middle of each half ring for engaging the E soap-stick or like body. A

3. In combination withV a container for soap sticks and the like small cylindrical bodies comprising two opposed covers havj ing an inner thread at their periphery, the

10 provision of two independent half-rings each provided with two outer threads for engag! ing the threads, in the two covers respectively, male and female interengaging parts provided on the adjacent ends of the halfrings,

15 half annuli formed on the outside of the half rings, angularly shifted with reference thereto and adapted to abut again one another through their adjacent ends, and coinparatively deep projections raised on the 201 inside of and substantially in the middleof each half ring for engaging the soap stick or like body.
